This paper introduces a sparse embedding for electronic health record (EHR) data in order to predict hospital admission. We use a k-sparse autoencoder to embed the original registry data into a much lower dimension, with sparsity as a goal. Then, t-S...
INTRODUCTION: Adverse drug reaction (ADR) detection in hospitals is heavily reliant on spontaneous reporting by clinical staff, with studies in the literature pointing to high rates of underreporting [1]. International Classification of Diseases, 10t...
Hospitalizations due to respiratory diseases generate financial costs for the Health System in addition to social costs. Objective of this study was to develop and validate a fuzzy linguistic model for prediction of hospitalization due to respiratory...
PURPOSE: Patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT) may require emergency department evaluation or hospitalization. Early identification may direct preventative supportive care, improving outcomes and reducing health care costs....
